We don’t know what combination of machine and human judgment put us on the list, but we are thankful… and congrats to all our fellow purveyors of audio fiction. May this help get new listens!
Associate Artistic Director William R. Coughlan gives you an update on one of our new series in development as well as talks a bit more about this month’s bonus for Patreon backers.
2020 was a transformative year for us as we needed to adapt to trying to do large cast audio dramas remotely (preferring the old school everyone-in-the-same-room approach has served us well). Our first large-scale attempt at this was with a six-part adaptation of “Prince Prigio” for our anthology series Through the Looking Glass.
We’re pleased to announce that the cast and crew’s hard work has been recognized as we received not one, but three TIVA Peer Awards at this year’s ceremony:
Peer Bronze: Web Series (Through the Looking Glass)
Peer Silver: Acting Voice Over – Audio Narration, Male (Bjorn Munson)
Some of you may remember that we were one of the finalists in the “Storyteller & Drama” category last year, which did lead to a lot more listeners — and some media attention. This year, we’re looking to get nominated in both that category and the new “Fiction” category.
But we need your help!
True to its name, the awards depend on nominations in all the categories — and to do so, you’ll need to register on their site. Once you’ve done that, you can nominate podcasts, including, we hope, Jabberwocky Audio Theater.
If we’re among the top 10 nominated podcasts in a category, we get into that coveted slate of finalists.
Then, in August, a random selection of the many thousands of the registered listeners vote on that final slate.
The festival will be revealing the exact categories all of the shows are nominated in later this summer, but the festival itself will be September 17 – 19, 2021 in, as you likely guessed. New Jersey. Perhaps we’ll see you there!
